Eveleth Progress Parkway project bond issue and appropriation

SF 1255 appropriates $8 million from state bond proceeds to fund the Progress Parkway project in Eveleth, Minnesota. The bill authorizes funds for predesign, construction, and improvements to the road, including intersection upgrades, realignment, and extension from U.S. Highway 53 to Trunk Highway 37. St. Louis County and the city of Eveleth will receive the grant funds through the state commissioner of transportation, with bonds sold to cover the cost. This is a concrete infrastructure funding measure for local road improvements.
